Leaving flores to home!

   Flores was a cool lil town and my last night there which i was actually hoping to not have cause i wanted to be a bus turned out to be a lot of fun! It was a cool group of about five of us that turned the night into some kareoke! Horibble kareoke ha ha the only saving grace was that the kid playing the guitar really could play and had a decent voice!
    Good times so i had to catch the nine pm bus that next day which was a good day! I got my money and my pictures back!!
    The bus to the lake took about 16 hours all said and done! The craziest thing happened tho! I was talking to this couch surfer named nicole who was in the area travelling so we had been planning to meet up but something (usaully on my end) would change. Anyways nicole was in the shuttle that picked me up from my hostel to go to the bus station! Wierd right?
  Well she was only going to antigua which is about three hours from the lake where i was headed. I kept to my plan cause i bought a ticket to the lake and she was gonna be in antigua for ten days and id be there in 3! But we never ended up meeting eachother but had some good convo on the bus!
     When i got to the lake i was in aw! Its sooooo beautiful with it surround mountians and volcano and indigeonous people!
   I stayed at zoolas which was a fun hostel and leaned how to play ass hole! met up with per and thomas right off the bat! It all worked out nicely!
   I almost got raped by a drunk girl... Yea lol long story ask About it if you wanna know ha ha.. Moving on :)
  Took the most amazing hike ever to the very tip of the highest surrounding mountian over looking everything!!
   The clouds were constantly changing the view it was jut a trip!
     After a couple days of fun and chillin around the lake i headed back down to antigua! A cool lil town!
   I met this girl on the bus down that absolutly drove me crazy!! We disagreed on everything.. 
   She said you make me tired .. 
I was like well its ok cause if you can stay awake for two more minutes i'll be gone!
  Shes like no... I'll wait for you !
? Lol i laughed !
   I went the opposite way!  
Really! I went on a hike up to the cross that over looks the the city! People told me not to go by my self cause people are often robbed on the path.. But i wasnt bring this girl and she would wanna go anyways. Shes lazy and openly admits it..
   So i went ! It was cool! And there was a cop on the trail! Plus i kept a high alert of my surroundings!

      I stayed at a placed called the jungle house which was super chill and i called it a pretty early night anyways cause i was up at six to go hike the pakaya volcano!!
   This volcano was somethin else! I was hoping to see lava ! Cause i heard you can. No go on the lava but it was hot enought in holes all over to roast a marshmellow reL quick!
   And its all lava rock and melted lookin crazyness! It was cool! I climed in a warm hole that is totally underground and just feels like a sauna!!
    During the hike i met two older girls that were on a work vacation from canada and they were cool so i hung out with them that night in antigua which was chill! We played trivia at an irish pub! In guatemala how bout that! 
  The trivia was sooo hard it was border line in enjoyable, but im not gonna complain cause maybe im the stupid one ha ha! 
   Tbe next morning it was to the border and at least to copan ruinas just accross the border of honduras!
                    HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Ok so let me explain!
    Capan ruinas is a small lil town with some nice ruins that i was maybe gonna see and maybe not gonna go see. There 20 bucks and i was just gonna stay forthe night and have seen some amazing ruins.
   So anyways i check into this hotel that a local actually brougjt me to right when i stepped foot off the bus (which i usaully never do) but i was tired and said what ever lets check it out!
    You check in at the bottom of a pretty decent looking hotel and end up staying in a dorm on the roof! Next to bo's house!
    Lol bo! Omg! This guy! He turned a part of the patio into his house and has been living there for 7 weeks!
   He is a 61 year old WELL traveled hippie and has soooo much to say! So many stories to tell and hes actually harious ha ha hes just one of those people you cant explain you just have to meet!
    Dont worry i have some recordings of his rambols that actually in the end have a very true deep meaning!
    And some good video ha ha 
    So there were 3 argitinians, a chinease girl, and a 40year old travelling mom from mexico who came and went and it was just good CHILL times on a roof for the week!
   We ate great for cheap! Smoothies every day with fresh fruit from the market, where i became a regular :)   We Made coffee with rain water if the power was on and the water was off. Ha ha you were lucky to get both! I actually never missed a sunrise tho! Up early every morning! We also walked up the mountian one day and about a mile in came across a cool lil village with kids and before you knew it your surrounded :)
  They make dolls and flowers out of corn husk! An we got invited to watch them be made by a 12 year old girl in a lil concrete hut with a hammok and some pads (their house)
        The whole experience of copan was great!
    So really i was supposed to stay one night and be gone into the highlands but like i said i checked into the hotel california!
    Im gonna miss bo! But i know i'll see him agian!
When i finally did leave it was sad cause he was bummed i was really going.. After saying i should for the last tree days but it is what it is. 
     He tried hard to get me to stay and thought about coming  with me ha ha you guys almost all met bo! Lol
        I caught the seven am bus to san pedro sula then from there took a bus into the capital!  Im not big on big cities and my room is depressing!
   Its really really really white with one bed and enough room for my back pack! But im outta here at 5 am!
    So next stop i'll post this and see you guys on wednesday!!
